		Gabby Harnett is believed by many to be the greatest catcher of all time.
		This work chronicles Hartnett’s life from his early years in Millville, Massachusetts, through his twenty-year career with the Chicago Cubs as player and manager, his time in various capacities in the minor leagues and with the New York Giants and Kansas City Athletics, to his post-major league career as a businessman in Chicago.
